BRAVE REWARDS (UPHOLD WALLET vs BRAVE WALLET)

[Creative_Feature]

WHY Aren’t BRAVE REWARDS DIRECTLY DISTRIBUTED TO BRAVE WALLETS⁉️
WHY SHOULD THROUGH UPHOLD OR GEMINI⁉️

@Creative_Feature Been asked and answered many times, so I won’t spend a lot of time on it.

Short answer:

Change rewards wallet to Brave wallet

In order to comply with current financial regulations (such as FinCEN and OFAC requirements, or equivalent regulators outside the United States), Brave Rewards payouts at this time must first go through a regulated custodian (like Uphold/Gemini). Note that once you receive BAT into your custodial account, you can always withdraw it on-chain to your Brave Wallet.
